I did not change the drop rates. Its 3% on each boss.
Hmm... 3% drop rate on each boss.
100 Bosses in T5.
So if a guild clears all 400 mobs in T5 in the proper manner and timing then they could earn between 2 to 4 essence of the abyss for the effort. On a good run.
So if I can convince my guild to roll the zone for me I *might* be able to get enough essences to upgrade the augments on one of my chars (single wield). Mind you, no one else gets any of those essences, just shots at the miserable bits of plat available or any armor molds / accessories that could drop.
So basically I need to clear T-5 seven times to get essences for my team. Since my crew is fairly average we can assume that most folks in my guild are going to need at least a half a dozen clears to be able to aug their crews.
Wait! What is that sound I hear??? OMG!!! I would know that cackling hysterical laughter anywhere! It's the ghost of old Charlie Ponzi appreciating the set up here!
